    Losing Dnmt3a dependent methylation in inhibitory neurons impairs neural function by a mechanism impacting Rett syndrome

    Laura A Lavery, Kerstin Ure ... Huda Y Zoghbi
    Dnmt3a regulates gene expression in inhibitory neurons by writing all mCH and some mCG, and MeCP2 reads some of these mCH sites driving a portion of these gene expression changes.

    Representation of visual landmarks in retrosplenial cortex

    Lukas F Fischer, Raul Mojica Soto-Albors ... Mark T Harnett
    Retrosplenial cortex encodes landmarks by integrating visual inputs with other task-related variables in a supralinear fashion.

    Synaptic mechanisms underlying modulation of locomotor-related motoneuron output by premotor cholinergic interneurons

    Filipe Nascimento, Matthew James Broadhead ... Gareth Brian Miles
    The pairing of chemogenetic and electrophysiological approaches reveals mechanisms by which cholinergic synapses modulate the final motor output of the nervous system.

    Auditory cortex shapes sound responses in the inferior colliculus

    Jennifer M Blackwell, Alexandria MH Lesicko ... Maria N Geffen
    Feedback from the mammalian auditory cortex to the midbrain decreases sound selectivity, altering how sounds are processed in the brain.

    Postural control of arm and fingers through integration of movement commands

    Scott T Albert, Alkis M Hadjiosif ... Reza Shadmehr
    After a movement, the final posture of the arm is stabilized by a subcortical structure that mathematically integrates movement commands over time.

    Revisiting the role of Dcc in visual system development with a novel eye clearing method

    Robin J Vigouroux, Quénol Cesar ... Kim Tuyen Nguyen-Ba-Charvet
    A new eye-specific Dcc mutant combined with an improved clearing protocol for the eye and brain (EyeDISCO) reveals the requirement of the receptor Dcc for retinal development and maintenance.

    Neural mechanisms of economic choices in mice

    Masaru Kuwabara, Ningdong Kang ... Camillo Padoa-Schioppa
    Inactivation of the lateral orbital area disrupts economic choice behavior and neurons in this area encode the value of offered and chosen options.

    Inference of nonlinear receptive field subunits with spike-triggered clustering

    Nishal P Shah, Nora Brackbill ... EJ Chichilnisky
    Nonlinear receptive field subunits in retinal ganglion cells are isolated and characterized by clustering spike-triggered stimuli, and validated on population responses to naturalistic and novel closed loop stimuli.

    Microglial depletion disrupts normal functional development of adult-born neurons in the olfactory bulb

    Jenelle Wallace, Julia Lord ... Venkatesh N Murthy
    Adult-born neurons in the olfactory bulb that develop in the absence of microglia have a higher density of small spines but weaker excitatory inputs and reduced responses to sensory stimuli.

    Presynaptic GABAB receptors functionally uncouple somatostatin interneurons from the active hippocampal network

    Sam A Booker, Harumi Harada ... Imre Vida
    Presynaptic GABAB receptors are highly expressed and strongly suppress synaptic transmission at the input and output of hippocampal somatostatin interneurons.
